Your cof error usually is referring to the incrementation, are you using SP1 of VC++ 2010 ? Or do you have something else installed.
Also i do believe that this bugg is due to you trying to compile in debug mode, it shouldn't happen in release mode.
What source are you using ? The one from ragezone or the ones purple published ( those contains a few fixes )
Anyways yes, beware that you will have some bitchy path to deal with, it took me some time to undersand that lol
If you really can't wait i compiled them some time ago in release mode you can find them here

and this is the version purple released some time ago, i believe it does have a lot of compiling error taken care of

If you really need the project file i think i can try to find them back.
